Excerpt:
Educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and enterprise-level businesses face an increasingly common conundrum. With the expansion and standardization of Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure across industries, these organizations have found themselves pushing the limits of what a typical copper structured cabling system can accommodate. The gold standard for performance and quality remains at 100 m; however, these organizations have often found themselves needing to extend their connectivity beyond this standard distance.
Leaders want to know: is there a way to extend the distance of their structured cabling systems beyond the 100 m standard without sacrificing performance and quality?
It is possible to do so, though not without careful consideration of the factors impacting transmission performance and the potential impacts of customization of standard structured cabling solutions. In this white paper, we will explore the situations in which it is possible to achieve extended distances with structured cabling, as well as the limitations of those channels long-term. We will then make a case for a future-proofed approach to extended distances, pivoting away from short-term fixes into long-term, sustainable solutions.
